Disaster recovery protocols

Protecting your organization’s data in the event of a natural or man-made disaster is essential to ensuring that data retrieval occurs in a timely fashion with limited impacts for conducting business. We recommend that you have data recovery protocols in place at an offsite location. Many vendors have data hosted and archival environments with a variety of services to choose from.

With Concordance Desktop server, you may want to keep an inactive copy as a failover means of ensuring access to your data. Internally, you will want to mirror hard drives on your servers and may want redundancy for the SQL Server.
